"They'll be across, I tell you over the Line " "I came pas' dat place more 'n once or twice" the French Canadian grinned "an' I never seen it no Line." He forced his companion to lower himself upon the sled, then swung it toward the river-bank, calling upon his own lead dog to follow.

Charlie says it's unconstitutional, you ought to see your 'torney, if you've one, or your father's got one.
"When the coop blew away from the ship I clung fast to this corner, with claws and beak, for I knew if I fell into the water I'd surely be drowned. Indeed, I nearly drowned, as it was, with all that water washing over me. I never was so wet before in my life!" "Yes," agreed Dorothy, "it was pretty wet, for a time, I know.

"My dress is dry enough, but I won't feel real comfor'ble till I get my feet dried."

I should get more, on'y I'm such a soft wi' the women, I can't help lettin' 'em hev such good bargains.
What's pretty clear to me is that you're fond of her, and I'm fond of her, and all we want is to see her comfor'ble and happy.

Lors, she's fine an' comfor'ble now, my old mother is; she ates her baked meat an' taters as often as she likes. For I'm gettin' so full o' money, I must hev a wife to spend it for me.
